Congrats!

It's gonna take 10 months to get GC?

I heard they normally process military case faster, have you heard about it? Are you at Fort Bragg?

That would be great! but he is retired, so I am not sure if that counts..... and we're in NJ, it looks like it takes them that long (according to other forums on NJ specifically....). Maybe I can be lucky!

Anyone else refreshes USCIS website with their case info about 9000 a day? :rofl:

I swear, I need somebody to take all my electronic devices away from me, so I can't have internet access.

I completed my biometrics today for my wife and stepdaughter in Milwaukee, WI.

Appointment scheduled at 9am, arrived around 8am and they let us come in and get started right away! It took less than one hour to

do everything. Keep in mind that you need to fill out a small application, then you get a number, and wait for a little bit. Very professional

and courteous. Done with this part! :)

Now, just to wait for the EAD and we are set. Hopefully not much longer now.....

Atlanta it wasn't.

Only appointment letter and wallet.

Oh. Should be the same here in San Jose, CA.

Thanks so much!

Just another thing about the Biometrics.....make sure you bring your paperwork, not just your wallet and letter. They asked us for marriage license and passports!

We were told to turn phones off, but you could still bring it inside.

Also, the only things required were the appointment letter and passport.

I had my phone turned off in my bag. I took my passport, marriage certificate and my notices and the appointment letter. The only things he asked for was the passport and marriage certificate (I don't have ID in my married name yet) and then my appointment letter. I was there by 9:50 and I didn't leave until around 10:40. There were only 4 other people waiting. Louisville must be a quiet office.

Same here, lol!

Glad you got a referral number today!

Hopefully we will get the bio letter this week! Stay positive! ?

That would be great! but he is retired, so I am not sure if that counts..... and we're in NJ, it looks like it takes them that long (according to other forums on NJ specifically....). Maybe I can be lucky!

I heard people say that, I know in NC the military case moves faster. We were stationed at NC, but just moved to CA. Not sure how everything goes here, hope it moves faster too! (I kinda doubt it, since I haven't got my bio letter yet. Haha!)

Still hope for the best!
